Woke up to snow this morning, so the summery top that was dropped today by LeeZu Baxter was very welcome. I added glitter with the recent Pixeldolls freebie and some extra style with some low cost Baby Monkey shoes that match a former BM group gift bag. I was sad to see Second Mirage go, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy the Morah turquoise set any more! However Yak & Yeti did in fact have a similar set of earrings with their free goodies.

This was fairly simple to put together as I got both the lovely Seldom blue gowns free and decided to use the pink opaque underskirt with the cream dress for a slightly different look. I rooted through my Valentine's day jewellery to find something pink to go with it!

More pretty spring items! I bought the blossom set cheap in the Bossa Nova sale (on til Bossa Nova closes to reopen under a new name) and I thought the Baby Monkey tulip top looked very pretty through the semi-sheer blossom top. The skirt is just cute! I teamed it with pretty pink earrings and some of the Yak and Yeti freebie jewels. The sash isn't free, but I think is really good value - these sashes are excellent for bridging the gap between pants and shirt layer and this one happened to match the other greens very well.

Two simple looks for spring. One features the Bossa Nova Relay for Life special, the "Primavera" ("spring"!) dress. I bought it in violet, and it has a lovely gold net underskirt and gold patterning on the linen mix skirt. The other outfit has just one of the many, many items you can get free at Yak and Yeti, a linen/cotton blouse from the Natural Brown set. I thought this went nicely with the daffodil patterned skirt from MNK. In both cases I kept with simple heeled sandals and the Helios set from Schadenfreude. As you can tell, this hair (not free!) is a current favourite, fluffy but not too twee.

Of course I have been joining in the Haute Couture sim hunt, and featured here are two favourite finds, the Alienbear Gupte pearl set, and some attractive trousers from RFyre. I picked up the trousers' embossed patterning in a couple of articles from the freebie heaven Yak & Yeti, and a wardrobe staple, the Pixeldolls belt. I thought it matched the blouse & mantra bracelet really well. Baby Monkey is really generous with gifts and this demin set of shoes and bag finished the outfit off nicely. A nice combination to relax in without feeling dowdy or messy.
